The Problem with March Madness
By Riley Hauser- Every year, in one Sunday in March, many Americans watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, hoping their team gets picked for college basketball’s most prestigious tournament. They watch, as super small teams that just a handful of people have heard of, like LIU-Brooklyn and Southern University, get into the NCAA Tournament, just [...]
Keep Schools Safe with Guns
By Cody Ehresman- If I were to go with the flow and keep guns away from school faculty in or world today, I would be doing our world a great injustice, just as if I were clearing a rugged mangled path into a paved highway only traveled by thieves, druggies, and murderers. I’m not exactly [...]
Sports Should Count as PE Credit
By Johnny See- The discussion has carried on for many years. So what is the answer? Should school sports count as Physical Education (PE) credits? They definitely should count as credits. Students who are taking PE because the school requires them to acquire all the necessary physical activity needed in a day, who are also [...]
Take 21st Century Journalistic Writing
By Jake Durgin- I believe that the new class, 21st century journalistic writing is a great class. If you are looking for a challenge, and want to experience a new style of writing, this class would be a good choice for you. In this class you’ll will write a variety of different types of stories [...]

The U.S Cellular Center in downtown Cedar Rapids has been the venue for the past several years, but currently is going through [...]
Let Them Grind
By Paulie Massey- Every decade, teenagers push the envelope with the latest styles of dancing. But this year, parents and school authorities think they’ve gone too far. Across the nation, high schools are banning the type of dancing known as grinding (also called twerking or freaking) from school dances, deeming it sexually suggestive and inappropriate. [...]
Fiction is meant to entertain
By Haleigh Ehmsen- “The Hunger Games”, the first book in the trilogy by Suzanne Collins, has been the number one movie for two weeks in a row. But for some reason this fictional book, now movie, has upset adults. In a column, published by the NY Times, Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite describes the plot of the [...]
New Gas Tax-Created Roads Would Prevent Travel
By Haleigh Ehmsen- Everything in Mount Vernon looked incredibly beautiful this morning. The snow resting on tree branches, the way houses looked with snow covering their roofs, and especially beautiful was the fact of the two hour delay announcement. Everything seemed perfect but this of course was just a façade created by the newly fallen [...]
Traffic Cameras Should Not Be Banned
By Haleigh Ehmsen- In an election year, traffic cameras have become a hot topic. Governor Terry Branstad deemed the cameras “unfair” after receiving a $200 ticket from an Arizona speed-camera nearly two years ago. “I have no problem with fining people who break the law. I just think a lot of people have problems with [...]
